The Urban Age Hostel

Rooms at The Urban Age Hostel go from a dormitory-style room for up to two guests to a 40 m² double room with a shower. Several rooms have a shared bathroom, and the twin and double rooms have air conditioning. The 30 m² room has a city view.

The 30 m² room with a city view has a double bed and sleeps one guest. Free Wi-Fi is available in all rooms, and the shared lounge and TV area, the bar and the kitchen are common spaces for guests.

Reception runs a 24-hour front desk, and 24-hour security is also on site. Guests can use the luggage storage, lockers and safety deposit boxes, and the hostel offers ticket services, tours and a taxi service.

For food and drink there is a bar, a coffee shop and a kitchen, with a shared lounge and TV area for relaxing. Daily housekeeping, laundry, dry cleaning and ironing services are available, and a convenience store is on the property.

Free Wi-Fi covers all rooms, and WiFi is also available in the public areas, so guests can stay connected in the lounge as well as in their room. On-site parking is available for guests who come by car.

The Urban Age Hostel stands on Silom Soi 8, a side street off Silom Road in Bangkok's central business district, where office towers, street-food stalls and the night-time life of the Patpong area sit close together. Silom is busy by day and lively after dark, with the skytrain, the old city and the riverside sights all a short journey from the hostel, so the area works well for a first visit to the city.

Sala Daeng BTS Station is 400 m from the hostel, and Chong Nonsi BTS Station is a little further on, so the skytrain connects the area quickly with the rest of the city. Patpong Night Market and Silom Square market are within a short walk, and the Thai Red Cross Museum and Chong Nonsi Canal Park are close by. The Grand Palace is 4.9 km away, and Chatuchak Weekend Market, Bangkok's large weekend market, is 8.2 km away.

A good day could begin at Chong Nonsi Canal Park, then continue to Assumption Cathedral in the Bang Rak district and on to the temples and museums of the old city near the Grand Palace. Both airports are a longer journey: Don Mueang International Airport is 22.1 km away, and Suvarnabhumi Airport is 24.1 km away.
